Sturgis Public Schools Superintendent Tom Langdon released a statement today confirming that former head football coach Bill Keim will return to the team as an assistant coach.

Sturgis head football coach Jimmy Lamb, Keim and Langdon met today to discuss the current football coaching situation at Sturgis Public Schools.

Lamb said he had met with Keim and discussed the possibility of him coming back as quarterback/defensive line coach for the rest of the 2012 season.

Lamb said that last week he discussed the issues that had led to Keim's resignation. Lamb said he is confident issues that were of concern to the administration have been discussed and that protocol has been developed under his leadership that will take care of those concerns.

Both Keim and Langdon expressed their confidence that without distractions, Trojan football will be able to move forward in a positive way.

Keim resigned as head coach Sept. 21, immediately following the Sturgis-Battle Creek Central football game.
